It’s not scoring very high as spam, but I don’t post anything from Italy. The first ‘received from’ at the bottom shows: Received: from 82.107.43.236(helo=####.com)

where ####.com is my domain and $$$$@####.com is my address. Except I don’t live at that IP, and it’s a mail server in Italy, I think.
(See full headers, etc. below.)
I would hope dreamhost’s own servers would recognize 82.107.43.236 as ‘not Dreamhost’, verify ####.com as a dreamhost domain and automatically toss any mail from ####.com at that IP in the bit bucket. Why doesn’t that happen?
I get the impression that DH has probably set up their mail servers correctly, but that the administrator in Italy at this IP has not. Either that, or it’s a zombie server. Any ideas? Why can’t DH recognize the incorrect server and just delete, or at least recognize this as spam?
I read a little about a similar phenomenon here:
